    I have a whole protocol for this.

    You got a 5-count once there’s no one in front of you to go. Then you get a quick tap.

    Then you get a 2-count to start moving. Then you get a double tap.

    Then you get another 2-count. If you haven’t started moving by now, you get 1 tap every second until you fucking move for the love of fuck just fucking GO jesus tap-dancing christ in a Bethlaham drag show GO!!

      At a red light, it is the responsibility of the first driver in line to check their phone. It is the responsibility of the second driver to watch the light and honk to let the first one know when it changes.

      I like your approach.

      My protocol is:

      1.) Stop at red light being the second car in the row

      2.) Casually rest thumb on horn button

      3.) Vibe till traffic stops, observe vehicle up front for breaklights going off, any movement or judder signaling the driver is getting ready, on/off system restarts the engine, etc.

      4.) If any effort is observed: feel content and have faith in my fellow man

      If no effort is observed: as soon as the light turns green, flash once, observe response for 1 second. If no effect, lay on the horn until vehicle starts moving. Overtake at next opportunity, because there are a lot of lights and ahead and this is a clearly distracted driver, so keep distance.
